flaggart Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 (edited) Thankyou both for your help with this so far. @ich777 I created i915.conf and rebooted. No change. Here is the docker config, I am using linuxserver however I also tried the official docker with the same result: I don't know what the necessary steps for Plex with the claim are. The Plex server webconfig shows it is claimed under my Plex account, which has PlexPass. Edited January 23 by flaggart Quote Link to comment

However it is described in the variable from the PLEX_CLAIM in your screenshot what to do. Can you maybe try the official container from Plex and see if that is working? Quote Link to comment

You maybe have to wait for the next beta release from Unraid with a newer Kernel, that's my only advice that I can give you currently. Quote Link to comment
flaggart Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 That sucks. But thanks for helping. Quote Link to comment

After some tuning I now get similar performance as my bare metal 5800x3d. Was ALOT of mucking around/tuning. I have assigned all P cores other than 0-1HT but would be nice to pin Unraid to E-Cores and use those 2 P cores in the VM seems like a waste of processing power. Now wondering if its worth pinning some e-cores to VM but not sure if they will be used correctly or not. To be honest maybe ill just leave as is until the build is stable/working. Now to sell my 5800x3d RIG with RTX 3070 :P. Using the latest 6.12rc4 build with the 6.1 Linux Kernel was key to getting it all going. I am in no means an "intel" guy I always buy AMD but the iGPU transcoding means i could remove my T600 Quadro and sell my RTX 3070. I have tested AV1 transcodes on plex too and it works fine with iGPU so future proofed there. So big win for my first intel build since Gen 1 Ryzen. If i was to build a new baremetal system it be a 7800x3d all day. So does that mean the VM has 14 cores - albeit 7 x 2 HT ones? If they are presented as individual cores to the VM, what happens if it tries to use a HT pair at the same time, th performance will tank on one won't it as only the host knows they are a HT pair? I've never quite understood this with hyperthreading... Quote Link to comment
dchamb Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 I have a configuration using an Intel Core i7-12700K Alder Lake CPU with an ASUS Z690-P Prime DDR5 motherboard. I am just getting ready to move my old unRaid server to this configuration. Seeing the posts about Alder Lake still floating around, am I making a mistake moving my unRaid to this configuration? Should I also invest in a Nvidia GPU to avoid problems? Quote Link to comment
flyize Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Everything, including transcoding, works just fine for me. Quote Link to comment
dchamb Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Are you using Intel or Nvidia for transcoding? Quote Link to comment

I have tested today unraid with kernel 6.7.5 and still have same issue Intel Alderlake_p (Gen12) @ /dev/dri/card0 shows in intel_gpu_top and in plex settings it is selectable, but it is not used on transcode Quote Link to comment
